The tanker carrying three and a half million gallons of ethanol was travelling from New York to Houston when an explosion sank the ship Saturday.
An emergency official says the explosion came from a fire that started on deck.
Fuel from the ship's storage tanks has formed a nine-square-mile oil slick.
Coast Guard officials say it's not clear how much ethanol spilled into the ocean, but they say the substance will likely have little impact on the environment.

A three- year freeze of hourly wages is also a concern.
Leaders say they ARE willing to negotiate with the company, but will stay on the picket line as long as it takes.
